Understand that a statistically rigorous process of forming and testing hypotheses is more important than the latest buzzword.

This role will involve taking residential real estate information we have collected and creating effective means to generate methods to predict real estate market conditions. Specific predictions include how likely a home is to sell, how many transactions will occur in the market, future residential housing demand and future consumer confidence in the housing industry. To test the success of the data science and modeling, the predictions will be measured against various housing indexes and real estate stocks.
